    I'm amazed at how fast that train is going. Nothing like that here on west coast of America

    The amazing thing about tracing our family is when we think we have the mysteries out, we find out how wrong we can be. Like a great detective work!

    I love this show- did my DNA 2x and discovered there's more Irish than I grew up believing and less Portuguese. Bit of a surprise that last. Family DNA also led me to a cousin who's the possible descendant of my uncle, outside of marriage. Convoluted stories all over the place.

    If you go back enough generations, everyone's going to have an Irish ancestor.

    have been researching many years and on numerous occasions have come across a juicy details of family history. Almost without exception, when I have asked older generations if they knew of these details, they reluctantly admit they did. I always find that amusing...protecting the "honor" of long dead kin ha ha.

    Time and time again, the front door to English homes are placed in very narrow hallways that ppl can hardly walk down. They are very tight.
